I do think that even GC has evolved rapidly, CPU development is still unable to keep pace or bottleneck. Unless thers's hope for 4core to become cheaper, then only the evolvement of GC is worthwhile. And hope that the price for wide screen LCD will become cheaper too, if not who's gonna use 8800 on a CRT?

Quad Core will be cheaper soon

LCD monitor already very cheap now, you cant get 19" LCD monitor under 1k last time...

8800 has alot of horsepower in it..

but it all depends on how efficient the driver's shader compiler and application/3d engine...

Looks like Nv responds's so fast to the Hd2900XTX core.

but i think that x2900xtx will b on par wit ultra or gtx so i think be releasing 8900 nvidia will take the top spot again...the best part is gts and gtx will b very affortable to us lol

hope they lower the power consumption and temperature using smaller die

hopefully when they develop starcraft2, they are not using any card like 8800GTX ><

since 8800 GTX ultra is out... and selling high at 3k +

8800 GTX price also not yet drop ... faster drop la... my new rig needs a pair of eyes XD

???? errr y me??

cause u r rich enough to have them

what the heck...
u mean i earn and work enough to afford them
while a lot of students or lazy ass ... dumb etc.. cannot afford them??

thats sounds more right.

depends on your budget la if u got real deep pocket like king i dun c any problem with GTX ah

looks like we need to use monitor as good as apple cinema display in order to fully utilize 8900s

lol I can think of a new slogan "nVidia 8900 series, 25% more powerful, 25% more expensive" The 8800GTX is breaking the bank as it is, imagine how much the 8900 would be if they release it now(>o_o)>! ! Haha, will be quite some time before we see the 8900 series

u will be surprised how many westerners are willing to pay tat hazardous ammount for performance and security... juz check club SLi...

aii.. but then the gc there is cheaper for them... I think most people who can afford 8800GTS here... can already do GTX SLi if they are from uk/us...

Around $500 to $600 onli for GTX...


*Err... actually... does the currency system applied that way??

it doesn't count that way, because not everyone will favor in highend range of a product, although its just sub 100 pounds for a c2d, but some UK ppl will still opt for cheaper AMD. Although technically they can afford it, but they will not choose it. Its the same like in MY, a manager with rm20k salary does'nt mean he has to use quad core or quad SLI

wahlau ehh.. rely can't catch up with GC revolution leh... beter stick with my 86GTS 1st loh...

when is that be happening??
i wanna get myself a quad..
still waiting for price drop...

i'm waiting quad core to be cheaper

Penryn is the answer... Q6600 already below RM1000 d...
